Superb! @sbkaufman & Robert Sapolsky discuss the political, educational & judicial implications of zero free will.

Scott thinks there might be a smidgen (eg. someone deliberately deciding to make a long-term change). Robert says definitely not. All educators should watch this.

Kiana Sabugo (@k_sabugo) shares her #CRGrant work on free will beliefs, prompting participants to think about how their thoughts originate to see if it reduces their belief in free will--their own as well as others'.

Latest papers: in this #OpenAccess paper, Tom St Quinton & David Trafimow show why theoretical, auxiliary, statistical & inferential assumptions should be considered when appraising the influence of manipulations on #FreeWill beliefs & behavior https://t.co/uGPwy3kJ1B

Six years in the making! Now out in PNAS. After accidentally harming someone, would you approach the victim and make amend, or escape the situation and avoid the victim? We show that both tendencies co-exist, but operate at different time scale.

Less than 31 hours since OpenAI started dropping the ChatGPT vision feature on pro users...

People are scratching their heads in disbelief.

Ahhhh! I am so excited to conduct my very own research with @UCSBpsych. Thank you @cloudresearch!

[CloudResearch @CloudResearch]

Kiana Sabugo (@k_sabugo) is using the Thought Origination Reflection task to investigate how calling attention to spontaneous thought processes can affect individual belief in free will.

This @TrendsCognSci Opinion by @KevinBerrymn @SaraLazarPhD & @hohwy critically examines the widespread view that contemplative practices make us more moral. We argue morality is multifaceted and the effect of contemplation is dynamic and nuanced

[Kurt Gray @kurtjgray]

We gave GPT 464 moral scenarios from past papers, and asked it to make moral judgments--they correlated .95 with human ratings

Because GPT (almost) perfectly captures human judgment, we wondered: can AI LLMs replace participants in the study of the mind?

@dconroybeam the part about noticing suspicious profiles by their usage of celebrity photos and stock images 🤣
welcome to 2023, this tweet was written by generative AI and my profile pic is a deepfake

[epicdylan.base.eth @thomasdylandan2]

As far as AI essays go, this one is the most profound I have seen. It works with the notion of enactivism (a concept I discovered thru the work of @ineshipolito !) and accounts for the need to expend scarce metabolic resources to participate in cognition.

[Azim Shariff @azimshariff]

By far the most technically sophisticated project I've been involved in. The game tests how we make predictions about each other's--and AI's--behavior based on profile pics. Meanwhile, the AI is learning from all of us to build a face for itself! Play at https://t.co/MlOhVfiQcb

Thank you for sharing our new paper @aa_marsh ! Here is a news blurb that nicely summarizes our findings and discusses some of the interesting philosophical points brought up here: https://t.co/mfEdG4CcB8

Oh! My email is [email protected]. My poster was at slot # 2 - “Can you choose when your mind wanders? Effects of experiences of mind wandering on belief in mental free will” with co-authors James Elliott & Jonathan Schooler

[Kiana Sabugo @k_sabugo]

I presented my poster at #SPP2023 @Center4PhilSci! So many incredible speakers & guests at this event. If you did (or didn't) get a chance to stop by, feel free to find me today or email me. I'd love to chat!

Fears of plagiarism have justifiably exploded since ChatGPT dropped last November. It's not just that ChatGPT & other generative AI are super accessible & capable, but our new preprint shows that it's also that copying from them just feels less wrong. https://t.co/iYnjwxG4Fe 🧵

[Kiana Sabugo @k_sabugo]

@sbkaufman @evan_westra presented work on this at #SPP2023 giving an argument for why virtue signaling is a useful instrument for moral change. more thoughts?

[Andrew Shtulman @andrewshtulman]

Overcoming temptation is praiseworthy unless your temptations are abnormal. @chris_starmans finds that you get kudos for not stealing your ex’s Netflix password but no kudos for not kicking a puppy. #spp2023
